Mental health segment accounted for the largest market share in 2016. It is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period owing to developing therapeutic options for mental diseases such as personality disorders and binge eating disorders. This segment is followed by degenerative disorders segment. There is growing awareness regarding neurodegenerative diseases owing to increase in initiatives by government and nongovernment organizations, such as Alzheimer's and Related Disorders Society of India. These organizations conduct awareness campaigns and conferences, such as Asia Pacific Conference of ADI at New Delhi and Kerala State Initiative on Dementia, which encourage the adoption of treatment for degenerative and mental disorders.

Cancer segment is expected to emerge as the fastest growing segment in the Central Nervous System therapeutics market. High demand for effective treatment and a large number of drugs in later phases of clinical trials are factors expected to propel the growth of the segment.
